Lemley was pretty good as freshman but was limited by her illegal . . .

. . . leaping (and she was illegal a lot). I was impressed by her 'fixing' this her sophomore year and still being effective. The rule change her junior year made her life easier. The fact that she pitched for a different coaches three of her four years likely limited her ability to ever develop and deploy consistently an effective change. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 4/21/2026, 5:29:04 PM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 4/21/2026, 5:29:37 PM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 4/21/2026, 6:11:42 PM

See Chip’s post on strike outs. Would you be willing to give up the

I understand what your are saying, but how many times have those walks
PokieHokie • 04/22/26 01:26 PM ET
What i would want is less wildness. Many of the walks are not borderline

Per my post above, VT gives up the fewest HRs in the conference**
VTChip • 04/21/26 04:40 PM ET
More evidence we have a good pitching strategy.**
vatechcowpatty • 04/21/26 04:42 PM ET
Yes and no. Giving up HRs isn't the best evidence
VAHokie89 • 04/21/26 05:26 PM ET
Here's an interesting stat on walks
VTChip • 04/21/26 02:33 PM ET
Chip, how do we stand in walks allowed compared to the the nation's top 20?**
gdot • 04/21/26 08:15 PM ET
Duke is a surprise on that list.**
Hockeydad • 04/21/26 07:31 PM ET
I'd be curious about strike outs **
TomTurkey • 04/21/26 03:30 PM ET
VT is actually leading the conference by a decent margin
VTChip • 04/21/26 03:57 PM ET
FSU leads the conference in fewest BB surrendered by a wide margin . . .
MidloHokie • 04/21/26 05:47 PM ET
We must be giving up more than our fair share of RBI's usually with
IB4TECH • 04/21/26 04:40 PM ET
Thanks. Batter stat?
TomTurkey • 04/21/26 04:15 PM ET
Pitcher stats.
RJHokie • 04/21/26 04:28 PM ET
Actually, VT is second in the conference in fewest strikeouts
VTChip • 04/21/26 04:42 PM ET
Yeah, only FSU is ahead of us. **
RJHokie • 04/21/26 04:51 PM ET
Thanks. I was looking for both per the OP. **
TomTurkey • 04/21/26 04:30 PM ET
For the most part college pitchers are 80% or more of what they . .
MidloHokie • 04/21/26 01:45 PM ET
Even more amazing considrring what Lemley went through and accomplished **
